缘味包子铺 Yuan Wei Steamed Bun Shop

Excellent place to quick up a cheap, high quality and tasty bite in this otherwise expensive city. Had all their steamed buns (pork and beef buns are the best, and always at the perfect, not too hot temperature). The lady and gent at the counter are also so sweet. They take cash and also credit card with no minimum purchase. Highly, highly recommend.

Fresh steam buns, and homemade soy milk..very hot and fresh. Sticky bowl rice is made in front of you. Have come back many times. Very inexpensive. $5 to $10 will fill you up for a quick meal. Place to sit. Egg fresh too

Such a hidden spot. Very affordable and made same day. Love the variety of steamed buns. Other non pork options. The mala tofu bun and beef are amazing.

Love baos so was excited to see this place pop up! They make really great snacks. The walnut one is delicious- didn’t expect to have jujubes mixed in! The filling for the meat one was tasty too and always love a good vegetable bun. I liked that it had big pieces of tofu in it. Was not busy at all when we stopped by on a weekend afternoon. If there’s no one at the register, just call for the manager out loud and someone will come out!

I loveeeeee BAO so had been wanting to come visit for months after seeing them on Instagram. Had the spicy tofu bao to start off - perfect spiciness and flavored tofu cubes. It was a great choice for my breakfast at 2:30pm. The second bun i got the signature pork bun recommended by the gentleman at the register. And IT BLEW ME AWAY!!!!! It was super juicy and tender. The skin was slightly sweetened and balanced beautifully with the savory filling. Just a side note: I am never a pork bao girl because I really dislike the fatty part and just weird texture I get from all sorts of pork bao filling i have tried so far. But THIS was different. I can't be happier with the recommendation. The shop is kind of hidden away from the bustling Flushing crowd which was nice. There wasn't much decoration in the store but it's quiet and clean. P.s. 2 big baos were only $5.25. Marking it on my map to come back for some other options next time!
